One possbility for the freeze is that epoll was enabled.

Illumos' epoll is deliberately not fully compatible with the Linux

As far as I can remember the EFL library hits a corner case where the
thread hangs due to an issue on how consumers are handled, but I do not
recall the details.
We had a thread on the subject with Rasterman, maybe visible online.
